SEARCHING AND PLACING COMPONENTS

SEARCHING OF THE COMPONENT

 

Now that your libraries are activated let’s head back into your schematic document and select the Add icon Add-icon on the left-hand side of your interface. Your ADD Dialog should now look similar to ours:

Let’s find our first part, a timer, with these steps:

  1. In the Search field, type in “NE555” and press enter. This should bring up one search result from st-microelectronics – NE555 General purpose Bipolar Timer. You’ll notice that this part has its own preview that shows off its symbol, footprint, description, and attributes.

You can repeat the process above to add all of the parts you need for your schematic.

  • Resistors – You’ll need 4 of these. Search for “resistor” and choose the first one in the resistor > R-US_ folder.

  • LEDs – You’ll need 2 of these. Search for “LED5mm” which should be the only option that shows up in your search.

  • Capacitor – You’ll need 1 of these. Search for “electrolytic capacitor” and choose the first one in the rcl > EL- folder.

  • Connector – You’ll need 1 of these. Search for “M02” which should be the only Amp Quick Connector that shows up in your search.
